Emmy Russell, the granddaughter of late country legend Loretta Lynn, is 'feeling grateful' after her 'American Idol' elimination: 'Half the time you’re gonna have to lose.'
"There was no sense of 'Why wasn’t I chosen?' I know I’m chosen," the 25-year-old singer said after missing out on the Top 3., had an impressive run in the show’s 22nd season, making it all the way to the Top 5 before facing elimination.
"I just wanted to get on here and say thank you so much for all the love and all the voting,” Russell began. “I’m just really feeling grateful. Like, I didn’t make Top 3, but that’s a part of— that was God's plan.”She continued, “It’s funny, because before I got eliminated, I really felt like God told me, 'Emmy you’re not gonna be chosen by America, but I chose you.' And so, there was no sense of 'Why wasn’t I chosen?' I know I’m chosen.
Russell and fellow contestant Triston Harper were eliminated during the May 12 episode, which saw them compete against the now Top 3 contestants, Abi Carter, Jack Blocker, and Will Moseley. While their performances that night were well-received, neither garnered enough votes to advance to the next round.Of her takeaways from the journey, Russell said, “The point of being here is you can be yourself and be successful; don’t run from rejection or pain; and facing the hard things.
